00:00:00.000 All right. So I wanted to wanted to say a couple of things about honor up front, because it's a word that has evolved in our lexicon over time.
00:00:11.520 And I don't. I guess there's there's two main different uses of honor, and I think that both of them are valid and good.
00:00:23.900 but i know that one we're very familiar with and that's the idea of your personal code your personal
00:00:31.260 you know dignity of how you how you handle things yourself and your personal um
00:00:39.820 your personal pursuit of of right and wrong on your own code but the the original meaning of
00:00:47.500 honor and the meaning that was was most relevant to our ancestors and these two do go together
00:00:53.580 certainly was the idea of fame or renown and again because of that personal code because
00:01:01.340 of the dignity and the nobleness of your actions and your behavior but the concept of honor was
00:01:07.100 had much bigger social ramifications because it was the reputation earned through you know through
00:01:15.100 good deeds or through prowess in battle or prowess in legal matters or prowess in whatever
00:01:22.580 you do.
00:01:23.060 But the esteem and the fame that honor did gave you a certain amount of currency socially
00:01:31.960 when you traveled, when you went from place to place, when you interacted with people,
00:01:37.640 your reputation preceded you.
00:01:41.060 and people would have something to gauge by and and know you and on top of that it was something
00:01:46.420 that uh others associated with you could use you know hey i i know adam adam can vouch for me oh
00:01:53.940 adam okay in that case in that case you must be all right um it was something you could use as a uh
00:02:01.620 as a signpost to know how to treat certain people so it was it was a very much about dignity and
00:02:07.620 reputation. Now those things certainly come from all of the things that we in a modern sense
00:02:13.620 think of as honor, but its social currency was huge to our ancestors. And I first really
00:02:20.340 that solidified in my head when I read Wilhelm Grombeck's Culture of the Coutons.
00:02:25.940 But I think it's something that is really important for us to consider nowadays.
